[@fernandochaves9665]

The 8 shaped circuit was a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@Roger-hp1yg]

I know I commented on here before but I gotta say I like theses older vids as opposed to the new ones today. I also like the 90s video s of monster truck racing.

During Scott Stephens' interview, he states that his team is utilizing an aluminum frame. I was unaware of that. I was only aware of Buffalo Tremor's frame being made from aluminum.

[@MisterGravelrama]

Scott Stephens talking about the new rules where they have to run a body, why was Awesome Kong allowed to run then?

[@TheIcpfan23]

Dee Gravelrama cause they couldn't make a body in time for the event. Btw this was the birth of the skinny awesome kong

[@chaseman113]

He was just just barely allowed to run and the rules were the immediately changed afterwards. Even he agreed it was a little goofy watching it on TV and seeing that monster thing win.

[@Rangerman69420]

Chase DeBoard thing wing 😂 LoL

[@Rangerman69420]

Dee Gravelrama I miss that Awsome Kong though

[@fernandochaves9665]

Many pounds lighter without a proper body.

[@TheIcpfan23]

[@TheIcpfan23]

[@fernandochaves9665]

[@nekad2000]

[@pandajunior77]

[@raydelarosa1927]

[@HellhammerSS]

[@TheMKEWERBY]

@@HellhammerSS Cute!

[@tracyflesher3301]

Can u buy DVDs on this

[@toddknaperek8225]

ESPN released a VHS called 'Turning the Power On' which has this race on it. I doubt it's on a DVD format though but you can get the VHS on Amazon.

[@TheIcpfan23]

ya he just came off a bad wreck remember

[@bradpritt1550]

Man the more of these old events I watch the more I see Bigfoot dominate. It seems like that operation had an unfair advantage over some of the smaller more independent competitors

[@fernandochaves9665]

Later they were banned for that reason, for a year or so.

[@Roger-hp1yg]

Well the creator of Bigfoot knew what worked to stay ahead of the game of course he's going to dominate the sport.

[@chriscatarcio2983]

Destroying clasick cars. Bullshit.
